Getting swiftly back on topic....
I don't support Israel. Israel does as much shit wrong as the Palestinians do. For every Israel-begun cease fire, there has been a palestinian-originated cease fire that Israel breaks every time. It's nothing but retribution after retribution. Every time one side puts down their guns, the other side makes them take their arms up again.
Israel is just as brutal and cavalier about killing and murder as the muslims that we are supposedly protecting them against. That is why the palestinans don't like our supporting Israel. We're turning a blind eye to the atrocities from the Jewish side of the conflict whilst wagging a finger at the Muslim side.
The best thing that the US can do to ensure some kind of peace in the Middle east would be to withdraw support from Israel and tell both sides that they better straighten up and fly right or we won't help either of them. While we aren't necessarily the only superpower still remaining in the world, who is going to support only one side when we stop doing it?
Oh, Kyle and Jay, you're both wrong. It doesn't matter what you have faith in, just that you have faith. Thomas said "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain 'move from here to there' and it shall. Nothing shall be impossible for you." I have faith that heaven exists and that God or Jesus aren't as petty as Jay would have you believe. However, Kyle, perpetuating this argument when the facts are perfectly clear serves no purpose. Stop feeding the trolls and just cross the bridge. If Jay chooses to subscribe to his narrow view of God's love then that's his own thing. When he gets to heaven and sees people like you and me there, we can laugh at him and go have drinks. Until then, why argue? It serves no purpose other than to postwhore.
EDIT: Then again, post whoring isn't so bad.
